It will be possible to replace the air filter of the Volkswagen Polo by opening the hood to access the components located inside the engine compartment: here you will be able to locate the filter box at the rear and you will need to detach it from the intake hose.

At this point, you can loosen the screws that secure the cover of the filter box to its seat: then you should proceed to remove the old filter from its place in order to insert the new one. Finally, you will need to reposition the box in alignment with the intake, ensuring that everything works properly.
